Speaking out loud


       Today began like most days, bright and early morning waking up to lovely Pandora music player....Happy to see a special someone in the early morning and eager to help his parent's move into their new house, I woke up early enough to prepare for a busy day. The day started off slowly as I tried to find things to help with but not much was needed since there were other helpers. I quickly engaged myself in packing up his clothing as well as helping his mother do the same. Things were going well, it wasn't until we arrived at the other house that I noticed his mood had changed. I guess it was from all of the moving we were doing but it wasn't like he was the only one moving things around. At times I felt like I were doing most of the work which didn't bother me until I noticed him sitting down more often than anyone else. Don't get me wrong we all worked for hours without really eating much, yet he played he role a bit more. Was I in the wrong for calling him out on it? I packed the whole pantry alone and lifted many boxes to get things organized better than they were. I guess I see things different than others because over all it wasn't my home I was organizing it was his.
     Okay maybe I got a little to emotionally exhausted but are we on the same page? Everyone put in an effort in unpacking and re-organizing certain areas of the huge household why was it that he was the only one slowing his pace? I understand not eating can have an affect on how your body performs...lifting etc but I think he overreacted just a tad bit. I tried relaxing about the whole situation but I mean I guess I felt he could have done a lot more than he did. Moving is a huge process which requires full effort from everyone, but how would you feel if you were tired from moving boxes, organizing tons of pantry items (food...drinks..utensils) and kitchen items and continuing to work hard while one person relaxes to his own tempo of things? What made it worse was the fact that I mention how I felt about the situation that person gets upset and distances them self from me. I thought I was the one who had an excuse for my emotions....??? I wonder if I expect too much from him? Oh well only time will tell.
